Something interesting I looked up today -- Prince Fielder now has a career total of 313 homers and 1,007 RBIs. His dad Cecil Fielder had career totals of 319 homers and 1,008 RBIs. Like father, like son?

Prince is struggling badly at the plate this year (.200 avg with 2 homers)... maybe he's just reluctant to overtake his old man.

He's not aging well?!?! Shocker! :D

After Rougned's walk off 2-run homer, Elvis was in the building with this:

They're a fun loving bunch of guys. Like the way the organization is run too. Perfect mix of international development in their system and they don't take on horribly bad contracts as a habit. (Remember Detroit paid much a lot in the Fielder trade) I'm talking current FO not as far back as Rodriguez. And they hire great people around the stadium. Nice venue to see a game, part of the design was patterned off OPACY. Fun atmosphere.

    • I get your point, but the issue isn’t losing a few games, but that two of our pitchers(Suarez and Irwin) have apparently regressed to their mediocre mean, and are no longer dependable, leaving us with two useable starters and huge question marks in Kremer and Povich, AND still one short. The bullpen, despite lofty MLB Rankings, isn’t reliable, and we have nothing, nothing, in the minors. Will we pray that McDermott is the second coming of Nolan Ryan, who walked everyone in sight but was ok anyway? We have already lost 14-11 and 10-8. We have excellent offense, and can have better if Mike would end his love affair with Hays and Mullins, but Mike seems reluctant to make any major trades, and Burnes trade aside, that’s been his MO since we got over .500. The fear is that unless he does something significant, we will slowly sink. The question is whether Mike thinks we won’t sink enough to miss October.
    • I thought the 4-32 was 2008 so I went it looked it up, looks like that one was “only” 6-28 after being 62-65 on Aug 20. No shortage of late season collapses for this club. 
    • Other teams know exactly what we need. Mike does too. The idea he needs to wait another month to decide what he needs is pretty silly. And the idea that the price will be better a month from now instead of today is also pretty silly. The price will probably be higher, but it won’t be lower. waiting does nothing except minimize the impact of anyone we pickup.
    • The Orioles had clawed their way back to a .500 record preceding the 4-32 collapse in 2002. I went to the first game that kicked off the losing streak. Looking back at it now it was clearly fool's gold with that roster expecting them to be a good team. But after several down year's O's fans were hungry for a winning team. Little did we know the wait last another decade.
    • Understood, but I wasn’t referring to your comment, but to his. He failed to get anyone useful.
    • Yeah that was pretty epic, even for an already losing season. Or were they barely in contention? I conveniently can't remember. 2017? Nope, but that was pretty bad too. After a 7-game win streak to the end of August, they were 8 games back, but then lost 22 of 29 to finish 18 games out.
    • Westburg has the potential to have a Jeff Kent like career offensively with his ability shown so far to hit for good batting average and home run power.
